# Docker

Alternative to using our simple tool tmn, people or companies with existing infrastructure might want to directly run our docker images for more flexibility.

To achieve that, you just need to run our `tomochain/node` docker image.

This image runs the [Viction go client](https://github.com/BuildOnViction/tomochain) with some automation added on top.
